First Poster for Priest
22 December 2009 1:30 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Paul Bettany is a busy guy at the moment with Legion coming out in the new year and this movie, ‘Priest’ in which he stars alonside Cam Gigndet, Maggie Q, Karl Urban, Lily Collins, Steven Moyer, Brad Dourif, and Christopher Plummer.
Priest is directed by Scott Stewart, the same chap who did Legion so I’m guessing that Bettany and he got on pretty well. Thanks to Collider.com for sharing the poster, they also give us the synopsis:
Priest tells the story of a warrior priest (Bettany) who disobeys Church law by teaming with a young sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and a beautiful priestess (Maggie Q) to track down a band of renegade vampires who have kidnapped the priest’s niece before they turn her into one of them. The film co-stars Karl Urban, Lily Collins, Steven Moyer, Brad Dourif and Christopher Plummer.
Priest is scheduled for release summer 2010. Click the poster to enlarge. »

First Poster for Priest Starring Paul Bettany
22 December 2009 11:12 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If you look at some of the film’s Paul Bettany has done in the past several years: The Reckoning, The Da Vinci Code, Creation, Legion, and now Priest, the guy may have some interest in the inherent drama of the implications and applications of Christianity. I could be totally off-base with this assumption, but then again, the first poster for Priest features him with a tattoo of a crucifix on his face while hellfire burns around him. It’s possible that the film may not be the Pope’s favorite of 2010.
Priest has Bettany re-teaming with Legion director Scott Stewart in the story of a warrior priest (Bettany) who disobeys Church law by teaming with a young sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and a beautiful priestess (Maggie Q) to track down a band of renegade vampires who have kidnapped the priest’s niece before they turn her into one of them. »

A Documentary is Just a Feature Film In Disguise: An Interview with Werner Herzog
14 December 2009 11:15 PM, PST | The Auteurs | See recent The Auteurs news »
Above: Werner Herzog looks into the camera's mouth of madness while Nicholas Cage contemplates insanity on the set of The Bad Lieutenant.
Around the time Tom Waits simultaneously released his albums Alice and Blood Money, he was regularly asked why he was putting out two titles at once? His common reply: “If yer gonna fire up the griddle, you might as well make more than one pancake.”
Werner Herzog seems to have taken a cue from Waits (it’s not hard to imagine the two getting along) with the release of his first two productions in the United States since 1978’s Stroszek. The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, a madman’s delusional romp and bayou fever-dream that revolves, reeling, around Nicolas Cage’s highly entertaining—even genius—performance, came out last month. It was followed yesterday by the release of My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done, »
'The Slammin' Salmon,' 'A Single Man' and 'My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?' In This Week's unLimited
8 December 2009 1:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
This past weekend, "Up in the Air" made more than $1 million on 15 screens while "Transylmania" took in only $250,000 (roughly) on more than 1,000 screens. So you see, limited release doesn't mean limited box office gross, and it certainly doesn't mean limited appeal. Of course, "Up in the Air" stars George Clooney. This week's three spotlighted films opening in limited release don't have that luxury, yet each has enough appeal to enough of a built-in audience that I won't be surprised to see all of them do relatively well with the screens their given.
What it is: Fashion designer Tom Ford makes his directorial debut with "A Single Man," a '60s-set drama in which a college professor (Colin Firth) deals with the death of his boyfriend (Matthew Goode). Julianne Moore and Nicholas Hoult, of "About a Boy," also appear as the man's best friend and student, respectively. Based »

Tom Waits in 'The Hobbit'?
3 December 2009 9:10 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Hobbit film rumors haven’t exactly been in short supply, but here’s a new one that sounds interesting: Internationally-recognized singer, songwriter, and actor Tom Waits could be joining the cast.
The news comes from AICN-Downunder, which reports from what sounds like a trusted source that Waits is someone the production is seriously considering. AICN-Downunder previously claimed Brian Cox would be playing a dwarf in The Hobbit, a rumor that has yet to be confirmed. So far, only Ian McKellen, Hugo Weaving, and Andy Serkis are confirmed as being in the cast.
Waits has released a number of albums, and his music is known for incorporating blues, jazz, and vaudeville. In addition, his singing voice is distinctive: critic Daniel Durchholz once described it as sounding, "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car. »
Motion Picture Purgatory: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
3 December 2009 2:34 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
We know it's not exactly horror, but when Trembles speaks, we listen! And when Werner Herzog directs Nicolas Cage, we can't help but watch transfixed.
Here's a quick synopsis of the flick: Terence McDonagh (Cage) is a drug- and gambling-addled detective in post-Katrina New Orleans investigating the killing of five Senegalese immigrants. With a cast that also includes Val Kilmer, Eva Mendes, Jennifer Coolidge, Fairuza Balk, Brad Dourif, and Michael Shannon, what's not to love?

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done
24 November 2009 1:26 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
What happens when two of cinema’s greatest (and oddest) filmmakers collaborate on a project? The answer is: My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done. A new feature film directed by Werner Herzog and produced by David Lynch.
Starring Willem Dafoe, Michael Shannon, Chloe Sevigny and Brad Dourif, the film is centred around the strange (what else?), true life tale of a disturbed man obsessed with a Sophocles play, who murders his mother with a sword.
Werner Herzog, since his award-winning documentary Grizzly Man, has undergone a career renaissance. Along with Rescue Dawn, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and his documentary features, he doesn’t seem to stop! As a filmmaker, he’s often displayed a penchant for the eccentric and weird. David Lynch, on the other hand, is downright weird through-and-through. Things have been quiet for Lynch since Inland Empire – an infuriating and brilliant film measure-for-measure. »

[Movie Review] Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
20 November 2009 1:38 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
To call Port of Call New Orleans a remake or a re-imagining of Bad Lieutenant would be a mistake; at least beyond an attempt to drum up publicity, which it definitely received when the original Bad Lieutenant’s director, Abel Ferrara, publicly wished for the deaths of everyone involved in this film. Especially that of its new helmer, the fearless Werner Herzog.
After watching the movie, it would be foolish to overlook the fact that it bears almost no resemblance to Ferrara’s film. It doesn’t even have the same titular character. Despite sharing the same moniker and the same appetite for moral compromise, Nicolas Cage’s goofy Detective McDonagh has a vastly different personality than that of Harvey Keitel’s nameless cult figure.
We first meet Cage’s drug-fueled, money-skimming maniac cop when he’s raiding a precinct’s flooded locker room in the days following Hurricane Katrina, »

Envy me, because Werner Herzog's "The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" is more fun to write about than it is to watch, and it is barrel-of-monkeys fun to watch. Everything about it is wrong, so wrong that categorizing it that way is meaningless, but wrong nonetheless, down to its title (that awkward "the" on the film's opening title card, that anachronistic and irrelevant "port of call," the subtitle itself, erroneously suggesting sequel-hood, etc.).
Of course, the film has no relation to the 1992 Abel Ferrara film, except it involves a police detective who is "bad," insofar as he dopes, gambles and isn't very effective as a cop. In the first film, the character's self-immolation was an existential passion; here it's... I don't know what it is. Herzog was brought on as a director-for-hire (which is very wrong, in the grand cultural scheme of things), after screenwriter William Finkelstein ("Doogie Howser, »

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Movie Review
17 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
Abel Ferrara's original Bad Lieutenant didn't really strike me as a movie that cried "sequel". It was dark, gritty, and and a little hard to watch at times, but was well worth watching, if only for a great gonzo performance from Harvey Keitel, and the scene where he pulls over two New Jersey club rats and makes them do sexually degrading things while he pleasures himself.
In Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, there's no scene quite on par with that one. It tries, that's for sure. and it's not the fault of either Nicolas Cage or the director Werner Herzog. Surprisingly, they have turned in a police procedural. Sure, it's a procedural directed by Werner Herzog, about a police officer with a drug and gambling addiction seeking redemption in his world, but it's still far more straightforward than one would expect given the "source material."

Exclusive Video: Eva Mendes and Werner Hezog Talk Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
16 November 2009 10:19 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, opening in theaters on November 20th, may share it's name with the 1992 Harvey Keitel film Bad Lieutenant but as far as director Werner Herzog is concerned, that's all they share. The film, according to the director, is not a remake but instead a film noir throwback with purposely ridicules over-the-top and hilarious moments. Nicolas Cage gives a "scene-chewing" performance like only the Oscar winning Cage can as a post-Katrina New Orleans police officer on a downward spiral of drugs, lies, power and corruption. Be sure to keep your eye out for Herzog's trademark symbolism in one scene that plays out from an imaginary Iguana's point of view and another where a dead man's soul break-dances. We had an opportunity to speak with the notoriously eccentric Herzog and leading-lady Eva Mendes about the new film, working with Nicolas Cage and those damn Iguanas. To »

Sliff 2009 Review: Touching Home
15 November 2009 4:00 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Whether you’re a baseball fan or not, Touching Home is a wonderful story and a great little film that’s appeared from somewhere out in left field. The film is inspired by true events, written, produced and directed by and starring the real life twin brothers Logan and Noah Miller. This pair of first-time indie filmmakers have really hit a home run with this movie that among other things, features a pretty impressive cast.
The story is about a pair of twin brothers who grew up together in a household run by their alcoholic father. Through the years, they’ve supported each other while taking care of their father who, if not working, was drinking. The brothers love baseball and play with a passion and seriousness that leads them to playing with the Colorado Rockies minor league system.
